Thor, has your dissertation been translated into English?

Alas, no. But the abstract is in English:

https://www.duo.uio.no/handle/10852/27550

To be fair, it's a Cand. Philol. dissertation -- a degree that is now defunct -- which is situated between Master's and Doctorate if applied to contemporary practice.

Was this whittled-down abstract done by Kev McGann?

Will there be a C & C edition?

Just curious, would it be hard to translate because of academic and discipline-specific terminology? I realize of course that there is a lot of work in translation, but your English is impeccable.

No, it would be fairly easy to translate. Just a LOT of work, as you say. I've used bits and pieces of it in articles over the years, whenever relevant. Interestingly, I had the cover designed by Jim Titus back in the day, before he became a big-time soundtrack cover designer:

A translation is something I want to do when I have more control over my life and calendar. smile

I have just realised (after years haunting this board) that Thor is actually called Thor, which is very cool - hello, Thor.

(Sorry for being slow, presumptuous, rude etc)

In preparation for writing your dissertation, you will complete your Ph.D. studies by taking academic courses.

Ah, gee thanks! Good to know. I mean, ha ha ha, I'd have almost taken golf courses instead.

Thor, your middle name...Joachim...is it pronounced Wack-eem in Norway, same as that famous Phoenix fella from the US of A?
Just curious smile

"Doctor Haga" sounds like a science fiction film.

No, it's pronounced the same way as the filmmaker Joachim Trier. Here's a soundbyte of how you say his name: https://no.forvo.com/word/joachim_trier/#no

But I've heard all kinds of pronounciations, depending on where you're from. My favourite is when I went into a video store that had an Arab clerk once, and it sounded more like this: https://howjsay.com/how-to-pronounce-joachim

Thor, too, is not pronounced the way you do in English. This is the Norwegian pronounciation (Thor Hushovd is a famous bicyclist): https://no.forvo.com/word/thor_hushovd/#no

Language....it's weird, innit?

Probably the most apt way to put it, unless you want to read pseudo intellectual pablum, just so much mental wankery (we're not talking STEM here).

Actually, I would also find it terribly boring to read something in a language I didn't understand. big grin
